Google Has a New Device Protection Program: Here's What to Know About Pixel Care Plus

Pixel Care+ offers unlimited accidental and mechanical damage claims with free repairs, enhancing device protection and simplifying claims for US customers, Google said.

  • On Wednesday, Google unveiled Pixel Care+, replacing Preferred Care and Fi Device Protection in the United States, with subscribers paying $0 for screen and battery repairs on eligible devices.
  • Amid complaints about post-sale support, Google says Pixel Care+ replaces Preferred Care to deliver broader coverage, easier repairs, and fewer out-of-pocket costs for Pixel owners.
  • Pixel Care+ includes unlimited accidental and mechanical damage claims plus extended warranty support; members can file claims through the Google Store or My Pixel app, selecting repair location and scheduling.
  • Google will migrate current Preferred Care members and Fi Device Protection subscribers to Pixel Care+ in the coming months, with the service limited to the United States and Loss and Theft add-on unavailable in New York.
  • Google is partnering with Asurion for Pixel Care+, moving from Assurant, offering free screen and battery repairs with genuine Google parts, but hasn't confirmed expansion to India.
